I am an avid fan of vocal music.I think a well trained voice is the most expressive and virtuosic indstrument of all. I love Opera and the things Operatic voices can do.My favorite singers and there are many are Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi(yes I admire them both) Joan Sutherland,Leontyne Price,Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle,Zinka Milanov,Renata Scotto,and Martina Arroyo with a special mention to Birgitte Nilson,Jessye Norman,Victoria De Los Angelos,Mirella Freni Kathleen Battle, and the amazing Renee Flemming. I adore Bergonzi, De Stefano,McCracken ,Vickers,Gedda, Tucker,Peerce,Domingo,Pinza,Merrill,
